Napoli is set to meet with Mario Hermoso and his agent to discuss a potential transfer from Atletico Madrid. The Italian club’s Sporting Director Giovanni Manna will be leading the negotiations as Napoli looks to strengthen its defense for the upcoming season.
Hermoso, who will become a free agent on July 1, has expressed interest in joining Napoli, but concerns about his salary demands and agent’s commission may arise during the meeting. Atletico Madrid acquired Hermoso for €25M from Espanyol in 2019, and he played in 31 La Liga matches last season.
Napoli has been looking for a replacement for Kim, who left for Bayern Munich last year. The new head coach, Antonio Conte, understands the importance of strengthening the defense if Napoli is to be competitive in the upcoming season.
The meeting between Napoli and Hermoso will be crucial in determining whether they can successfully negotiate a deal to bring him to the club and bolster their defensive lineup.
